Germ, best of luck for seasons to come. I always explain that I am a self taught bowhunter. I had no one in my family that bowhunted when I started in my early teens. However,

My grandfather use to take me for walks when he hunted grouse and other upland birds with his Weimer "Duke". He'd point the bird out to me before they flushed it. I don't have that many memories of him other than those few times but they are vivid in my brain. He was a rough man but had a soft spot for us kids.

Blessed you are for having these times with him and I pray for continued success.
